Borrowing restrictions

Network licenses can be borrowed using functionality offered in the CLC Workbench License Manager, which is described in Configuring Workbenches to use network licenses. By default, all users can borrow licenses for between 1 hour and 7 days. How to restrict borrowing is described in this section. How to decrease the maximum time a license can be borrowed is described in Setting limits.

Rules that can be configured:

Option Argument Description
ALLOW_BORROW_IPADDR_ALL One or more IP addresses Allow all features to be borrowed for the specified IP addresses.
ALLOW_BORROW_IPADDR_<feature> One or more IP addresses Allow the specific feature to be borrowed for the specified IP addresses.
DENY_BORROW_IPADDR_ALL One or more IP addresses Deny all features to be borrowed for the specified IP addresses.
DENY_BORROW_IPADDR_<feature> One or more IP addresses Deny Allow the specific feature to be borrowed for the specified IP addresses.
ALLOW_BORROW_HOST_ALL One or more host names Allow all features to be borrowed for the specified host names.
ALLOW_BORROW_HOST_<feature> One or more host names Allow the specific feature to be borrowed for the specified host names.
DENY_BORROW_HOST_ALL One or more host names Deny all features to be borrowed for the specified host names.
DENY_BORROW_HOST_<feature> One or more host names Deny the specific feature to be borrowed for the specified host names.
ALLOW_BORROW_USER_ALL One or more users Allow all features to be borrowed for the specified users
ALLOW_BORROW_USER_<feature> One or more uses Allow the specific feature to be borrowed for the specified users
DENY_BORROW_USER_ALL One or more users Deny all features to be borrowed for the specified users
DENY_BORROW_USER_<feature> One or more users Deny the specific feature to be borrowed for the specified users

The rules are written and used in the same way as the access restriction rules described in the previous section.

The following line would disable borrowing for all users:

                DENY_BORROW_IPADDR_ALL = *.*.*.*
